Gaia Lyrics

Artist: James Taylor
Album: Hour Glass

Notes:

JT on Sony.com: There is a theory suggested by the planetologist John Lovelock, that life (on earth) is one inter connected, self regulating organism (watch out). He named it the GAIA theory after the ancient Greek earth goddess (evidently).Your basic tree huggers anthem.

The sky was light and the land all darkThe sun rose up over Central ParkI was walking home from workGAIAThe petal sky and the rosy dawnThe world turning on the burning sunSacred wet green one we live onGAIARun run run run said the automobile and we ranRun for your life take to your heelsFoolish school of fish on wheelsGAIATurn away from your animal kindTry to leave your body just to live in your mindLeave your cold cruel mother earth behindGAIAAs if you were your own creationAs if you were the chosen nationAnd the world around you just a rude andDangerous invasionGAIA

Someone's got to stop us nowSave us from us GaiaNo one's gonna stop us now

We thought we ought to walk awhileSo we left that town in a single fileUp and up and up mile after mile after mile

We reached the tree line and I dropped my packSat down on my haunches and I looked back downOver the mountainHelpless and speechless and breathless

GAIA

Pray for the forest pray to the treePray for the fish in the deep blue seaPray for yourself and for God's sakeSay one for mePoor wretched unbeliever

Someone's got to stop us nowSave us from us GaiaNo one's gonna stop us now
